I got up last night to drive over to Mayfield Lavender. Only about 40 minutes from home so not too early!
I was hoping for a little more cloud in the sky to add some drama bit it was clearer than I would have liked. I was taken with the soft colours though before the sun came up, they complimented the lavender nicely.
Struggled a lot with lens flare, I had two stacked hard grads to hold back the sky (3 & 2 stop).
Taken from the public right of way which crosses the field and outside their boundary fence.
Here are the best from the morning.
Constructive C&C welcome.
1 - Taken before the sun breaks the trees. Afterwards too much flare.

2 - About 15 min after sun up, my favourite of the morning, I love how the light is illuminating the gazebo.
